Offsite Homes

A
Modern Method
Of Construction
Factory Made Housing

OUR CONCEPT
An innovative British business manufacturing steel framed modular houses in a factory and delivered to site as
a complete ‘turnkey’ weathertight unit.
Offsite Homes are innovators in the affordable residential market sector. Our unique combination of two dimensional
panel sections and three dimensional volumetric open and closed modules are mass produced to a very high quality
and performance standard in our factory.
The concept of offsite modular housing is not new and dates back to the early 1800’s. Today modular building technology
is well established within the wider construction market, particularly in Northern Europe and Scandinavia. What is new
is our factory produced “turnkey” volumetric solution as depicted below:-

QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Our commitment is to manufacture sustainable quality homes.
Our ways of working will mean we will produce almost no waste and our
homes will be almost 100% recyclable, therefore meeting the objectives
of the Circular Economy.
Due to the flexibility in design and the quality control benefits that factory
based modular manufacturing offer, it is possible to consistently deliver
dwellings with very high levels of through-life energy efficiency, so making
them cheaper to heat and light, less prone to overheating and having a much
lower through-life carbon footprint than more traditionally built homes.
In addition, the “fabric first” design (i.e. the insulation qualities of the walls,
floors, ceilings and roof section) reduces energy demand, meaning that
the homes can be delivered with lower capital expenditure on infrastructure.
In turn, this reduced infrastructure requires less energy to run, reduces
through-life maintenance and offers cheaper replacement costs when items
such as boilers need to be replaced.
Our Integrated Management System at every factory site will be
certified by an independent UKAS accredited certification body for
Health, Safety, Environment and Quality (OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001
and ISO 9001 respectively).
The management systems will also be certified and conform to the
specific design, manufacture, and construction system requirements of
the “BuildOffsite Property Assurance Scheme” (BOPAS) and the product
requirements of the BLP “Durability and Maintenance Assessment Scheme”.
We will work with our Principal Contractor partners to deliver
a full start to finish, sustainable quality housing solution.
“Clearly, as one of the region’s key social housing providers,
First Wessex would wish, where possible to support such an
initiative as any help with job creation and affordable housing
in the region matters to us all.”
John Barker | Director of Assets & Development | First Wessex

MARKET OPPORTUNITY
Current UK housing supply has plateaued year on year and the latest Department of Communities and Local
Government (DCLG) output figures show c.140,000 new homes being built per annum. With a government target to
produce c.300,000 new homes per annum, the UK now faces a significant housing crisis driven by a number of factors:-
• Lack of skilled tradesmen.
• An ageing population needing to downsize or live in assisted accommodation.
• Increase in single living.
• Lack of available mortgages for first time buyers.
• Social housing development decline.
• An increase in net migration.
• National house builders’ unwillingness and inability to build more homes.
• There are already an estimated 1,700,000 people in England on the social housing register.
• The UK population will increase by 10 million over the next 25 years’ according to government estimates.
Offsite Homes is a contract manufacturer of “affordable homes” serving the needs of social housing associations, local
and central government (HCA), local authorities, the private rental sector, strategic land owners and mid-size private
property developers.
